the wife and i popped to the beach to try out the new kites, winds where very kind to us about 5mph and topped out at about 7-8mph when we left, we both are very much beginners but we quickly figured out how to reverse relaunch and started doing loop/360's or what ever there called lol

anyway heres the videos

PL Twister 3 4m





Flexifoil Sting 2.4

you cant wait to boost can you:thumbup:...careful w/ that...and heres your first wear a helmet

Here's the second wear a helmet. Especially if you are trying to jump.
You will find out how quickly a good time can turn to despair if you fall without one... but good on ya for getting the wife involved. Have fun and welcome to the addiction.

Thanks for sharing Richie! I like the "march of the penguins" in the background at the beginning of your first vid :D

Great that you guys are making this a family sport (easier to justify buying more kites ;) )

I love how your wife was screaming with delight. She will understand what your new addiction is all about.

If you really love her, buy her a helmet . I have banged my head hard on the beach and am sure my helmet saved me.

Careful with that jumping thing. One day you will actually get lifted and then discover that a 4m kite won't give you any float.

I am not coming down on you. Just hoping to pass on a bit of my personal experience.
